He is and always will be a Miner, so I wish him the very best. I hated the way he started and thought that he could have done all of the right things without having to besmirch the previous coaches and players as he did. But, his failure to pass the fricken ball down field was just inexplicable. For whatever reason/excuse. I honestly felt like he was in over his head and would have had considerably more empathy for him had he not set the tone for empathy for coaches, himself at the start. Won’t it be interesting watching this one play out. The coaching fraternity is very tightly knit and they are all connected. There are AD’s that come from inside the fraternity and there are those who come from outside. It is no surprise that those AD’s that come from the coaching fraternity look to their immediate coaching family first, quite often. Business people approach it very differently. Stull had already planned to give the new AD the problem of dealing with Kugler, or there was already an agreement in place between the two regarding Kugler and Stull. So, I don’t see Stull jumping in to hire anyone. My guess is he will leave that open for the new AD. By the way, I strongly believe that the new AD is probably already chosen and the powers that be are going through the necessary motions.
